The Anna movement is all over the nation. Everyday in Delhi is like living a patriotic movie. The Ramlila Maidan or India Gate, I can picture every bit of it in the History books that will come in the following years. Everyone is affected by the corruption in India, but this man Anna, has the balls to question the Government on its face. The Jan Lokpal Bill and Anna’s team are fighting for months for this Bill eradicate corruption completely. I often hear people talking about the movement in the Metro, giving opinions about his hunger strike and the Bill.
Recently, I read some news on China’s warfare building a huge army of 2.25 million people and causing worries for us. But on the other hand Team Anna is no less in support. It has reached upto four million! The former was scary for everyone, but latter is causing quite a big amount of pain in Government ass.
If it is in Delhi then it is in metro also. I see people with Anna topis everyday shouting ‘Inquilab Zindabaad’ and ‘Vande Maatrm’ in the Metro premises. Well the new generation is no less in giving interesting slogans. For instance, twinkle twinkle little star, Anna s a superstar and something like Na na na naare, Anna Hazaare! One can imagine the number of people going crazy on winning the Cricket world cup but against corruption the number is crossing all records.
The smell of sweat, the fragrance of nationalism has filled the Metro completely.
I always used to sit with my grandpa and talk about the scene during Independence. He used to tell me various stories about the movement at that time. How different people came in the picture to lead the movement. Though Gandhi was the biggest leader, there were others much stronger than him playing their roles silently. Imagine the moment then and see the upsurge now. With so many inventions and makeover of technology and the media, Anna’s movement has gained maximum momentum. It is the biggest unification moment India has ever observed.
Anna’s topic has over shadowed the conversations in the Metro. Now people talk sensible stuff. Instead of dirty talking over the phone or talk about the episodes they missed of the stupid saas bahu sagas, the people in the Metro talk about corruption and how Anna is handling the movement.
I remember the day I went to see him. It was his last day of fast and the amounts of people participating were humungous. I saw people in white dhoti kurta, young ones with painted tattoos on their skins of Indian flag. It was a time to remember, everyone participating with so much agitation gathered so much confidence inside me, made me proud being an Indian. Balls to energy drinks, imagine the amount of enthusiasm, one gets when there are thousands of people around you with one motive in their heads.
Well the fast ended well achieving it’s purpose or half of the purpose as quoted by Anna. Someone has said nothing is constant and nowadays I see these words turning into reality. Within a few days, things have changed.
It’s either the busy schedule or the weather I don't know why I have stopped hearing about Anna on board.
